Flutter backs FanDuel prediction markets despite sportsbook licence concerns
Flutter chief executive Peter Jackson said FanDuel would not launch prediction markets next month unless it believed its sportsbook licences would be protected. The company will not offer the contracts in states where it already operates online sports betting, and Jackson said it had discussed the plan with regulators, tribes and other stakeholders.
The plan could affect FanDuel’s sportsbook licences and its expansion into states without legal online sports betting.
